Cable Modem Thomson DCM476 (LED Light Display)

I bought a Thomson DCM476 cable modem (HW:2.1 FW:STAC.02.50). And I recently signed up with Electronic Box for cable access. The Rogers technician guy hasnt come yet (wont be til next week) but interestingly when i plug in my modem i notice the LED lights show:

Power = Green (solid)
DS = Blue (solid)
US = Blue (solid)
Online = Blue (solid)
Link = Green (solid) >> when my Ethernet cable is plugged in -- in photo below it wasnt plugged in

My Thomson DCM476 LED display:

I dont officially have internet access when checking through my browser but do these specific colors (and state) for the LED lights indicate that all is good and i am merely waiting for Rogers

How do I change my MAC address

MAC addresses were designed to be fixed numbers that cannot be changed. However, there are several valid reasons to want to change your MAC address

Changing a MAC Address To Work With Your ISP
Most Internet subscriptions allow the customer only a single IP address. The Internet Service Provider (ISP) may assign one static (fixed) IP address to each customer. However, this approach is an inefficient use of IP addresses that are currently in short supply. The ISP more commonly issues each customer dynamic IP address that may change each time the customer connects to the Internet.

ISPs ensure each customer receives only one dynamic address using several methods. Dial-up and many DSL services typically require the customer to log in with a username and password. Cable modem services, on the other hand, do this by registering and tracking the MAC address of the device that connects to the ISP.

If I copy a Valid MAC address in my Router could I get free service?

No, and here's why:

As far as I know, there are three major ways that cable companies allow cable modems to access their network:

1.) Filters/Traps:

Some cable companies don't care about the MAC address of your cable modem. They prevent your modem from talking back to them by installing a filter and/or trap on your cable line at the tap.

When you get your service activated, they come out and remove whatever they need to.

This is not used often because it's very easy for people to steal cable modem service.

2.) HFC (Cable Modem) MAC Authentication:

In this case, the cable company would authorize your cable modem by it's MAC.
